Pan-Germanism proposed legal-free arrest years before the Nazis adopted it

Evidence

Although idolization of power played a less articulate role in Pan-Germanism, there was always a certain antilegal tendency which for instance comes out clearly in Frymann, op. cit., who as early as 1912 proposed the introduction of that “protective custody” (Sicherheitsliaft), that is, arrest without any legal reason, which the Nazis then used to fill concentration camps. — Hannah Arendt, The Origins of Totalitarianism, 2450

Categorization

  • QUESTION: The typo ‘Sicherheitsliaft’ — presumably Sicherheitshaft — is worth noting; worth chasing the Frymann 1912 source for the exact proposal.
  • ADDENDUM: Directly supports a follow-up to ‘On Sacrifice’ territory: arrest without legal reason as the bureaucratic precondition for the camps, echoing the necropolitical logic.
